About this map

Fernwood and Glen Avon anchor the northern reaches of this Clackamas County landscape, where the Molalla River and its tributaries carve through the timberlands. The Fern Hill Cem sits near the northern boundary, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this rural corridor. Central to the map's geography is the Molalla Wild and Scenic River, which is fed by numerous waterways including Sorenson Creek, Woodcock Creek, and Trout Creek.

Tracing the complex network of forest roads and trails reveals the era's recreational and industrial infrastructure. Routes like S Dickey Prairie Rd and S Ramsby Rd connect scattered homesteads to higher elevations such as Green Mountain. Hikers and land managers navigate a dense system of pathways, including the Molalla-Rim Tr and the Molalla South Huckleberry Tr, which follow the ridges and valleys between Pine Creek and Shotgun Creek.
